I've been wearing a pair of men's climbing shoes but I'm not a guy. Would woman's shoes really make a difference? The shoes I have work fine for me. Is there something I'm missing? I've been looking online for shoes I like and the La Sportiva Testarossa Climbing Shoe has cought my eye althought they're men's shoes. Should I be looking for women's shoes?

It's actually best not to think of them as women's and men's shoes- More accurately, they're just 'low volume' and 'high volume' shoes. Women would generally tend to have lower volume feet, so a men's shoe may have too much space in them; so if you're having to do up your laces really tight to get your shoe tight, or have empty space round the heel, you might be better making the change! That being said, if men's shoes fit you fine, then you're not missing out on anything!
